Getting wiped out financially from a scam ranks pretty high up there . Just being targeted, leaves you with a sense of being violated and your privacy compromised.
India is just the cheap labor. The brains behind the scam are somewhere else and it could be your neighbor. or some Russian living in Dubai.
The UK broke up an international scamming crime ring yesterday which shows just how organized the scamming ecosystem is. Unfortunately, it took the police 3 years to do this.
